The BIG Picture

The picture represents 500,000 galaxies in the Cosmic Web. Each of the yellow dots is an ENTIRE GALAXY. That’s @ 200 billion stars each. The largest portions of the structure (@ 84%) are in purple, representing Dark Matter and Dark Energy. You can get lost in it. Despite the fact that this map equals only 0.000001% of the Known Universe, that’s 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 or 10×10^2 stars you’re looking at! That’s countless planets with countless moons, untold comets, asteroids, black holes, and nebulae.
